    A death to lobbying

Could you explain why? Do you mean in its current form, or altogether?

Because information becomes largely biased by the money behind it. Staffers should and could research issues, without the establishment of companies that profit by, and exist soley for, the purpose of persuasion. This bias disenfranchises voters for the sake of institutions with power. Information that representatives get should be provided on a pull, not push basis to reduce the corruption of legislation.
